In the West Bengal Assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee contested from Nandigram constituency. But he was defeated by BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari. Mamata Banerjee was sworn in as the Chief Minister on May 4 after the Assembly results were declared on May 2.

Mamata Banerjee had approved the decision to set up the upper house of the state assembly, the Legislative Council, within 14 days of taking over the reins of the state.

Time to remove Tirath Singh Rawat in Uttarakhand

Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat was in a similar situation to Mamata Banerjee in Uttarakhand. He was made the Chief Minister when he was an MP. He was not an MLA. Due to this, he also had to be elected to the Vidhan Sabha in 6 months. But due to Corona’s position, the Election Commission has decided not to hold a by-election. As a result, BJP had to remove Tirath Singh Rawat from the post of Chief Minister. He resigned on July 2. The term of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly ends on March 17, 2022.

It is difficult for Mamata to get the bill approved by the Center

The Legislative Assembly passed a resolution establishing the Legislative Council. But this resolution needs the approval of the Center. Article 169 of the Constitution authorizes the establishment of a Legislative Council in West Bengal. It is necessary to table a resolution in Parliament for the establishment of Legislative Council. In addition, the consent of the President is required. The BJP has a majority in Parliament. Because of this, even if Mamata tries, it will not be approved. But if the BJP is persuaded, their path will be easier.
